Hi Everybody!

I think that if you have to say "to make a long story short..." two or more times during your story, you have failed in your attempt to make the long story short.

Last week, I saw a car on the side of the highway with a completely flat tire.  The man outside of the car had on a t-shirt that said MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK! in huge letters.  I smiled my biggest smile of the day upon seeing this situation.

I think nursing homes should expand on their weekly activities.  Rather than bingo nights, how about Truth or Dare Friday Nights? 

When people laugh after they say something that is not funny at all, I am always at a loss for what to do next.

I think we are at a point where something needs to take the place of "the weather" during times of alleviating awkward silences.  If people play the weather card on me in place of silence these days, I tend to shut them down.
Them: "This rain is crazy huh?  I think it's supposed to rain until Wednesday.  I just want the fall haha..."
Me: "Yeah I don't know."

Standing still, not walking, on a moving sidewalk has got to be the ultimate in laziness.  A close second would be remote controls for car stereos, followed by riding in a golf cart on a par-3 course.

I'm watching a college football game and I'm wondering to myself: aside from 4 or 5 teams that have a real chance to win the championship, what the hell is the point of ANY of these games?  Pitt just went three-and-out versus Notre Dame.  Does it matter at all???????  It really, really does not.  So dumb.

The Cinnamon Crunch bagel from Panera makes me happy on weekend mornings.  I think it should be served on Christmas and Easter mornings every year.  If I remember, I may start this tradition within my family.

If you are ever in the area, Prime Steakhouse in Ogunquit Maine is an excellent place to eat.  It's right outside of Perkin's Cove.  The decor is refreshingly modern, yet warm at the same time.  The food is excellent.  Paulie's onion strings are addicting.  The steaks come with your choice of sauce on the side.  The garlic butter and the Prime steak sauce are the perfect accompaniment to the tender and flavorful meats.  And if you need seafood because, after all, you're in Maine, they have a wonderful haddock with whole lobster meat as a topper.  I hope I get the chance to get up to Prime this fall.
mmmmmm Prime...
